Galaxy A16 5G:- Quality Display and Design Quality.
In Samsung Galaxy A16 you get a vibrant Super AMOLED display and a reasonably fluid refresh rate of 90Hz. Samsung has used a slightly bigger 6.7-inch display this time compared to its previous mobile, which makes this mobile look very beautiful. In the mobile, you can take your brightness up to 800 nits in high brightness mode (HBM) which is exactly like the Galaxy old model, so there is no change in it. The mobile brightness of this mobile helps you a lot in using your mobile in outside light. If we talk about winters then it is also quite effective in that.
You don’t even need sound in this mobile, which is a must have for me. You get a single music on the base share in the mobile, which is restricted to mobile, which gives you good sound. Your this mobile sounds loud and simple on high volume and low-end commands are not affected. But it does not tolerate direct sunlight outside, the reflective finish of the screen produces a lot of glare. But the screen is quite good, works properly.
For low budget you will get Samsung Galaxy A16 despite being made of normal plastic, this plastic gives it a premium feel. This mobile is a bit bigger in size than the old model, but a few mm thinner and with a weight of 200 grams this phone is quite heavy. You will get this mobile in Blue, Yellow, Grey colour. In recent years Samsung is making its smartphones with better design, which people are liking a lot. You get to see the best phones of your Galaxy S24, and you will get this mobile with better design for only $199.
The mobile has a key island on the right edge, in which you have a volume rocker and power button. The SIM and memory tray are on the left edge, while the Samsung Galaxy A16 has a USB Type-C port and speaker grill on the bottom edge. And in this you get the power / fingerprint button and volume buttons of cheap phones slightly raised from the flat edge in Samsung mobiles, but this is a decoration that I like a lot. You will also like the design of the mobile very much.
Galaxy A16 5G:- Benchmarks & Performance.
To improve the performance, the Exynos 1330 processor has been used in the Galaxy A16, which provides better performance to the users. The Galaxy has 128GB of internal storage and 4GB of RAM, and the A16 supports up to 1.5TB of microSD card, which is a plus point in terms of performance. This chipset gives normal performance, which needs improvement in Samsung’s $199 priced mobile. We use several benchmarks to objectively assess the performance of the Galaxy A16. According to it, the CPU of the mobile performs quite well and the GPU also works quite well.
We have tested the better performance of the mobile by playing games on the Galaxy A16 mobile. When we played the Zenless Zone Zero game, when we went to medium graphics settings at 60fps, A16 had problems and sometimes the animations also came intermittently. But when you play on the default settings in the mobile, the game plays pixelated smoothly and when you go to the highest graphics settings, the pictures came out beautiful. This mobile gives a good gaming experience in medium graphics, but on high graphics, this mobile plays the game intermittently.
Samsung Galaxy A16 satisfies people by doing the basic tasks in a better way, and also does their important tasks faster. The mobile delivers fast performance to others by sending emails, web browsing, and media playback. It does all the tasks with ease which makes the user experience better. However, you may also get to see some problems in the mobile, like you may experience a slight delay when switching between apps or taking a lot of pictures. If you have always used premium phones, then you will have a good experience with this. But I like the performance, but it gives you better performance and is a little behind the premium mobile. And as a premium mobile, Vivo X200 Pro gives you better performance.
Galaxy A16 5G:- Battery Power.
Samsung provides a 5,000mAh battery in Galaxy A16 5G, which is less than its large 6.7-inch size. The phone does not support wireless charging. In our battery rundown test, where we watched an HD YouTube video on the phone, the A16 lasted for 13 hours and 46 minutes, which is slightly less than the older model of the Galaxy. However, the battery did a good job while streaming YouTube videos and gaming. Talking about charging, when charged at 25W, the phone can be charged 21% in 15 minutes and 100% in 1 hour 35 minutes. Its battery is rare considering its price. For comparison, the Motorola Moto G5 5G‘s 5,000mAh battery offers up to 13 hours and 42 minutes better life with 18W fast charging.
Galaxy A16 5G:- Camera.
The Galaxy A16 has a 50MP main camera on the back, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. The Galaxy A16 has a 13MP selfie camera. 50MP main camera on the Galaxy A16 lets you capture detailed photos with good colours along with adequate exposure and dynamic range, which means Samsung lets you take great photos.Colours are mostly consistent with the camera and detailing is evident in the photos, however the images are a bit overexposed and the end result is brighter photos.Galaxy A16 takes better photos than its predecessor, which is a bit rare for an affordable phone. But rapid-fire or burst shooting doesn’t work as well.
The photos taken by the ultra-wide camera are good, but the quality of the ultra-wide camera is very low and the details and color tone of your photos are very low. If you look too much into them, the photos get spoiled. The ultra-wide camera is limited in taking night images due to a very low-rated sensor, and gives blurred details in dark areas and overall long faded colors. But Samsung likes dark color color science more and the mobile has ensured that you do not get scaliness in your favorite phone. Otherwise, your images, apart from the ideal classic, lack music and color tone.
Samsung’s 2MP macro works very well. It takes images with texture, but the mobile’s low resolution camera holds back. The A16 also has the capability of up to 1080p at 30fps for video capture. Shots taken for zoom are cropped on the main sensor, which gives you almost acceptable results at 2x. I found its macro lens camera quite good. Let me know how you like the camera quality.
phone takes time to process pictures and you have to wait a bit to take a full resolution photo, which Samsung needs to improve. The camera takes a few seconds after each picture before you can take another photo, although there is no optical image stabilization in the mobile. Overall, videos have good detail and accurate colors. Using a tripod makes it look better. If we talk about Samsung’s selfie camera, Samsung’s 13-megapixel front camera takes pretty good pictures for its price, giving detailed selfies even in good lighting.
Galaxy A16 5G:- Connectivity and Easy to Hear Audio.
The A16 5G mobile comes with a single bottom-firing speaker, but a single speaker works better. The speaker distorts at maximum volume so you should use the speaker with low volume. The vibration of this mobile is a bit weak and it lacks the clarity found in more premium devices. But the mobile experience is definitely budget-friendly. When we tested this mobile by listening to music, this mobile gives quite good quality sound from a single speaker.
If we talk about the call quality of the mobile, then it performs quite well. When you make a call from the mobile, your sound is heard well by the person in front. The A16 also removes background noise well. There is a single down-firing speaker for media playback. But you get a little thin audio. And for a better audio experience, I use Bluetooth headphones to get the best audio.
For connectivity, Galaxy A16 supports (sub-6GHz), Bluetooth 5.3, NFC and Wi-Fi 5. And this mobile also supports you with an eSIM, which is quite good compared to other premium mobiles. This 5G mobile supports technology (mmWave). When connected to a Wi-Fi access point, A16 works by achieving a maximum speed of 298Mbps on download and 22.6Mbps on upload. When we use the mobile within the limits of our Wi-Fi network, it performed well. And connectivity is quite good.
Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy A16 5G?
Do you think this mobile is right, if I tell you about this mobile, then this mobile is another cheap phone, in which you get attractive design and strong AMOLED display. On the contrary, the battery life did not seem to be WACL stratelite at first, especially in case of continuous use. But I find its price quite good which you get comfortably for $ 199.Overall, Samsung Good Affordable 5G is a completely affordable and cheap phone. And you can get the mobile and discount on the festival time.
